Puritan Board Freshman
I have a question that I’m not sure if there’s an answer to. Since Jesus’ passive obedience was performed in his human nature, how could he have endured infinite wrath if his human nature is finite? I understand Jesus had infinite value as a person, but my question is how he could have suffered an infinite amount? The Westminster Confession of Faith states that,
"It was requisite that the mediator should be God, that he might sustain and keep the human nature from sinking under the infinite wrath of God”
But what does it mean that the divine nature “sustained and kept the human nature”? I've never heard this expounded on. Doesn't this require a communication of divine attributes to the human nature?
